Pale Pink Sapphire - Oval Cut Facet

This elegant Pink Sapphire is cut into a classic 8mm by 6mm oval with a 3.8mm height. This particular stone is characterized by its exceptionally delicate, "barely-there" pink tint—often called a "whisper" or "petal" pink. While nearly colorless in certain lighting, it reveals a soft, romantic blush upon movement. The 3.8mm depth provides a balanced profile that allows the stone to sit beautifully in a medium-depth setting while maintaining excellent brilliance.

Its sophisticated, near-neutral palette makes it a superb choice for an understated engagement ring, a timeless solitaire pendant, or a refined piece of heirloom jewelry that bridges the gap between a white diamond and a colored gemstone.

Key Properties & Care

As a member of the Corundum family, this sapphire is second only to diamond in terms of natural hardness, making it one of the most durable and valuable stones for lifelong wear.

• Mohs Hardness: This stone has a hardness of 9. It is incredibly tough and highly resistant to scratching, meaning it will retain its sharp facets and high-gloss polish for generations, even with daily wear.

• Cleaning: To keep that "barely pink" hue bright and clear, clean it regularly to remove oils and soaps that can dull its appearance. It is safe for ultrasonic and steam cleaners, though warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush are equally effective.

• Maintenance:

  • Clarity: Because the pink color is so subtle, keeping the pavilion (underside) clean is essential; any dirt underneath will be visible through the top of the stone and may make it appear muddy.

  • Inertness: Sapphires are chemically stable and unaffected by most household cleaners, perfumes, or chlorine.

  • Durability: While extremely hard, a sapphire can still chip if it takes a sharp, direct hit against a hard surface like granite or steel.

• Storage: Because this sapphire is so hard, it will scratch almost every other stone in your collection (except diamonds). Always store it in its own separate pouch or box compartment to ensure it doesn't damage softer stones like Tourmaline or Opal.
